Elinor looked at them with a little quick sigh of excited envy. "As a curiosity, I suppose. I've told you all he told me. But I refused to sell it to him, and he seemed greatly vexed, a display of irritation which in its turn vexed me. I was quite annoyed when I left him." Miss Jinny laughed, as she shook out a creased skirt, and laid it carefully in the long lower drawer..

Patricia grabbed the sheet before Judith could set down her glass, and she read it aloud, with great enjoyment.
